18:30 – Get-together with light drinks & snacks
19:00–20:00 – Theorien ausstellen? With Christian Sicka (Curator of Astronomy, Planetarium, Deutsches Museum, Munich)
How can abstract ideas from cosmology and particle physics – by definition immaterial – be experienced spatially? This very question of translating scientific content into tangible forms is addressed in the lecture ‘Theorien ausstellen?’ ('Exhibiting Theories?') by curator Dr. Christian Sicka. Building on the historical development of the projection planetarium and selected examples from his curatorial practice, Sicka’s lecture will examine the social role of the Deutsches Museum at the intersection of culture, education, and technology. A Q&A session will follow the presentation. The event will be conducted in German.
Venue: Academy of Fine Arts Munich, Akademiestr. 2, Old Building, Room A.EG.01
